Welcome Home ARG is one of the most popular alternate reality horror games right now and, like many other popular things online, it's inspired a lot of rule 34.

What Is The 'Reboot Wally Animation?'

In mid-August 2023, animator Lagoon posted a spicy animation to X, formerly Twitter, based on the ARG Welcome Home, an ARG about a fictional children's puppet show from the '80s called "Welcome Home." The animation features a character known as Reboot Wally, a fan-created version of the ARG's character Wally Darling designed as if for a reboot of the series.

The 54-second long animation is notably graphic, depicting Reboot Wally hooking up with a fan to keep him in her favor. It's being shared across social media, but has recently blown up on TikTok in videos referencing its existence but not showing any of the details.

They're mostly doing this through memes where they express their shock after watching the video, sharing the name of the animation and SFW screenshots from it.
